#7 is scored as a hit. I suspect #8 is a hit as well, but I'm not sure.There are actually 9ways to reach base without a hit:
- Base on balls
- An error (as noted by another poster)
- Hit by a pitch
- Interference by the catcher
- Fielder's choice
- Dropped 3rd strike by the catcher
- Batted ball that hits a runner
- Batted ball that hits the base umpire before passing a fielder
- As a pinch runner

As far as boxing, people may "know" who is winning, but boxing can be very corrupt and you just can't ever be sure how it will actually be scored, so I think that's really correct.

I assumed the sport where you didn't know the leader or the score until the end is bowling. You don't know how many balls you will throw until the last one. And you can't add up the score until you know whether you've gotten a strike or spare in the tenth frame.
Good quiz, though!
(1) There's one "sport" in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends. What is it?
